@PhilaRevenue Thanks for the reply. I do appreciate it. I sent you a DM.

@lauramarelic We are deeply sorry to hear you had that experience with our Call Center, Laura. Let's connect over the DM here, and we will try to get this sorted out for you.

I WISH I were joking when I say we were on hold with @PhilaRevenue for 2hr57m + finally got to the front of the line only to be hung up on w/o talking to a human. Am I being punked? I just want to reset my password to access my acct! If not phone, how can I get ahold of someone?!

@PhilaRevenue Love this city, but this is a disgrace.

A very French climate graphic

Today: Made our first $1 from a Labs product 🥹 Keeping expectations low, but anyone who knows us knows this has been a long time in the making so I can't help but celebrate a liiiiitle bit 😉

#tbt to @try_cookin when it used to take bb Connor and Laura *weeks* to try a single marketing experiment (this is hard to admit). Now, with Gardener Match, we've done an experiment a day for the last 3 days 🤯 (proud of this, though nothing is really working yet...)

after interviewing all the gardeners, we finally sent marketplace.gardenermatch.com to our chicago-area waitlist! if you are or know someone in chicago who could use help with their outdoor space, check it out!

Just put our gardener-focused page up! Anyone in the Chicago area tryna get their hands in the dirt? 😏 gardenermatch.com

Do you know anyone working on a cool #climate #datamodel that might want to make them accessible online?

1. Org has a climate-related model + data engineer(s) to improve it. 2. Org hires us to design a UI for the model so others can access its insights. 3. We build a web app to put all that ^ online. 4. We then create a UI for collecting new data + configuring the model over time.

Here’s a little ditty I drew a while back when we realized that lots of the projects we were seeing at @lifelikelabs followed a similar pattern...

Not sure if it’s the template alone, but we wound up converting ~35% of gardenermatch.com visitors. This was exciting since it was a clear signal to move forward to the next experiment. We're still rookies but experimental rigor is fun to be learning about!

It’s amazing how clarifying writing is. For example, it was hard to answer the “criteria” prompt since it felt like pulling numbers out of thin air. But forcing ourselves to come up with something was helpful in judging results later, which has been a struggle in the past.

A big breakthrough we had on the Labs side of @lifelikelabs this month was actually writing down an experiment for the first time using this amazing template from Testing Business Ideas by @AlexOsterwalder.

@NicoleKelner Shizen is awesome. Really creative vegan food and cool vibe

Coming to SF for the first time in 5+ years next week! Where should I eat?

Time invested to validate/invalidate core business assumptions: @try_cookin : 2 years @learnlistt : 7 months landscapemate.com: 3 months gardenermatch.com: 3 weeks We still don’t have much to show for our efforts, but this is a trend line I’m proud of 📈

@selfawarestudio @artists_equity @airmovie so cool y'all, congrats!

NEW WORK!! We recently worked with @artists_equity, an artist-led, independently capitalized studio co-founded by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, to design and develop a portfolio site before the release of their first film @airmovie, which is in theaters today 🎥 ↓
